{{TB|I miss the old Springfield.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Where's the black market Vicodin? Where's the underground kangaroo fight club? I need my 'roo fights!}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Sure, I'm making lots of money. But that gets boring without morally reprehensible things to spend it on.}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|Krusty, if you're jaded about being rich, there's only one solution to your spiritual crisis -- get even richer.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon}}
{{TB|Yeah, then I can buy a private island. And attach rockets to it, and blast it into space. Ah, Space Island.}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|What you need is to start making new Itchy & Scratchys.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|But we've already got hundreds of them. And the characters don't change or age. What innovative stories could any writer wring out of those characters?}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|From what I can tell, none.}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|But it doesn't matter. No one needs to watch the new episodes.}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|They just need to know they're being made and remember the old ones fondly… and voila, the brand is still relevant!}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|Then you can start merchandising t-shirts and action figures, slot machines and beer… maybe even develop a freemium game!}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon}}
{{TB|Would the game have to be good?}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|Not at all. Just rebuild Itchy & Scratchy Studios. I promise you'll be slurping up cash pronto from that sweet IP!}}

{{TB|Krusty, if it isn't my favorite talking ulcer. What is it that you want from me?}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|Hey, hey, Roger. I just pulled you from oblivion. You ought to be kissing my foot acne in gratitude.}}
{{Tapped Out Roger Myers Jr. Icon}}
{{TB|I ain't kissing your facne for nothing! You still owe me for the Picasso you destroyed!}}

{{TB|I'm not breathing in fumes from some crappy Impressionist!}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|Fellas, let's put aside this fighting, and focus on our common goal -- being rich enough to feel superior to others.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon}}
{{TB|We have a simple request, Roger.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon}}
{{TB|Get your staff at I & S to develop a new batch of beloved cartoons we can turn into shoddy, sweatshop merchandise.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon}}
{{TB|Remember, not just loved, BE-loved.}}
{{Tapped Out Roger Myers Jr. Icon}}

{{TB|Well, Roger, I've given you and your staff 12 hours, give or take the use of donuts.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon}}
{{TB|That should be more than enough time for them to come up with a billion dollar franchise.}}
{{Tapped Out Roger Myers Jr. Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I'm sorry, Krusty. I went into the studio, and found everyone who worked for me is gone. And by gone, I mean is now a skeleton.}}
{{Tapped Out Roger Myers Jr. Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|There's a lesson here: if you chain your writers to their chairs, make sure those chairs are within arms' reach of the breakroom.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Wait. Then what have you been doing all this time?}}
{{Tapped Out Roger Myers Jr. Icon}}
{{TB|Caught up with my email. Your inbox really fills up when you haven't been in existence for a while.}}

{{TB|A sad clown? How very original.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Embarrassed}}
{{TB|Originality is not my specialty.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|Besides, I'm not sad for me. I'm sad for the millions of viewers who'll never get to see new episodes of Itchy and Scratchy.}}
{{Tapped Out Comic Book Guy Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|I guess you haven't seen Deadline Springfield.}}

{{Tapped Out Roger Myers Jr. Icon}}
{{TB|Look whose tears have dried. My good pal--}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|Don't you “good pal” me! You're gonna make millions showing Itchy & Scratchy on the World Wide Whatever! And you cut me out of the deal?!}}
{{Tapped Out Roger Myers Jr. Icon}}
{{TB|In our last contract, you never asked for a share of new media sales. It's not my fault we signed that when the internet didn't exist.}}

{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Angry}}
{{TB|If it's an option in my menu, I will make it my mission to have you stored back in the inventory.}}

{{TB|People don't watch television anymore, Krusty.}}
{{Tapped Out Roger Myers Jr. Icon}}
{{TB|They receive content through smartphones, computers, tablets, and direct-to-brain downloads.}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|So now some company will pay us handsomely for the opportunity to provide the entire Itchy & Scratchy catalogue via cable and internet doohickeys.}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}
{{TB|That's how to wring the last remaining drops of cash out of an aging cartoon franchise.}}
{{Tapped Out Krusty Icon|Sad}}
{{TB|But you told me IP something something blah blah?}}
{{Tapped Out Blue-Haired Lawyer Icon}}

{{TB|By the way, if you're smart and powerless, it's way cooler to give up and act jaded. I read that in The Economist For Kidz.}}

{{TB|This is unacceptable. What's the point of being kids if we can't fix problems with pluck, spunk, and …how do we fix this?}}
{{Tapped Out Lisa Icon}}
{{TB|Well, we could round up all the kids in town and write complaint letters to Roger Myers Jr.}}

{{TB|This could be our civil rights movement, but instead of being about freedom from social persecution, it's about freedom to watch TV. Because freedom is now a meaningless word.}}
